Quote:Just ahead of the new year, new data shows a major drop in Americans participating in the WIC federal assistance program.

Welfare reform has been a top priority for President Trump since the beginning of his presidency.

Now, participation in the Women Infant and Children or WIC welfare program has dropped to a 17-year low.

According to data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, enrollment in the WIC program declined to just below 7.3 million recipients this year.

The new stats surpass the previous record low in 2000, when more than 7.1 million people used the assistance.

Quote:“We want to take on skills, getting people the skills they need to get the job they want,” said, House Speaker Paul Ryan “Career, technical career education and welfare reform.”

Additionally, as the economy improves, the USDA is expecting a further decline in WIC enrollment in the coming year.

I mentioned ~6 mos. ago, I began seeing fewer cars in the sect. 8 parking lots when in the field.....

that was a key indicator how quickly things began to move forward in the 'burg....yeah we still have the 'walkers', but we'll always have those.....

I always like to work the equation backwards.....

in geographical/poverty terms, I'm in a pretty good 'warren buffet situation' to observe how the residual impact how this plays out in its earliest form...

I can tell you this too....the lots were always packed the previous 8 yrs.......

I have no reason to lie......the money I make happens either way.....I simply lobby for a better state of mind for the highest percentage that is plausible....

you don't want me out in the gunga din in defense.....that one gets ugly quick like.....

That's exactly what's going to happen.

like most dems, Mach's simply on tilt right now....he's hearing all the chimes from the fear mongering msm that get paid healthy wages that will now see an increase in out of pocket taxes at the end of the year (since the msm is located in the states most affected in the negative)

I don't understand how he doesn't understand this.....he's no dummy.....ol' boy has tunnel vision (again)

he's right about one thing in premise......fat cats enjoy the binge/purge theory of economics......what he doesn't understand is how/why those fat cats are mostly left leaning.....

people have quickly forgotten how DJT was a supposed (d) and all the corporate leadershite backed hill-lair-liar early...........lmmfao

btw, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this to date......this is what I view as more positive news and #winning

this indicates more people are already working more.......and ol' boy hasn't tackled welfare reform at this point....there are ways to make the remainder more productive....

Back in September, I started seeing help wanted signs and the number of signs has continued to grow and now I'm seeing banners and people using their sign to seek applicants rather than touting $5 pitchers on Tuesday. Arkansas unemployment has stayed fairly constant while employment has increased so people are re-entering the job market.

May even get back to what he had in during the Clinton boom when fast food places in Little Rock were offering $9 an hour for people with no experience and $11 if they had any fast food experience.
